The 2027 Armada BDOG 94 is Phil Casabon's ultrasoft, creative tool, an all-mountain freestyle ski engineered for skiers who like to bend and press their skis through every transition on the mountain. With Circle Flex and an extra-pliable tip and tail, it bends in ways most skis can't.

Why we like it:

Circle Flex is what makes this ski feel different. The tip and tail bend with almost no resistance, which lets you press, butter, and sculpt the ski into any transition you can imagine. It's a ski that genuinely rewards creativity rather than power.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert freestyle skiers who like to butter, press, and bend their skis through transitions. Best for creative skiers, urban riders, and anyone who treats the entire mountain as a freestyle feature.

Highlights:

The Poplar Ash core gives the BDOG 94 a smart blend of light, lively poplar through the body and stiffer ash binding inserts to anchor the mount zone. That mix lets the ski feel buttery soft in the tip and tail while still holding up to landings and harder turns underfoot. Circle Flex is the signature, with incomparably pliable tips and tails that load and release through any transition. Freestyle Rocker keeps tip and tail rocker for soft-snow versatility and switch riding, with positive camber underfoot for edge hold. Impact Edges hold up to rails and ice, the S7 sintered base handles glide, and AR75 sidewalls round out a freestyle-first build that's purpose-built for creative skiing.

Things to consider:

The ultrasoft flex and freestyle-first build mean this ski isn't going to charge hard or hold an edge at speed like a stiffer all-mountain ski. It's a creative tool, not a freeride daily driver.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length. Pick the size that matches your usual freestyle or all-mountain length.
